Slowhatch:

--- Quote ---I hear this because the local crew hired to do the POV pickup shots had to revisit the location that morning to get matched lighting conditions.

Matched to what? Now I'm confused (more than usual, anyway  :lol:). It should be interesting to watch the editing tomorrow.  :spy: Terminology here.

michael:
Slowhatch, when they have an point-of view shot of the teams it's probably filmed with the same weather/lighting etc...as it is to when the teams are actually there....so if one team is a day  behind and the weather is different they will have to re-do the POV camera as well so the lightning, etc match up.

Slowhatch:
OK, but...why? If they're 10 hours behind, then nobody would expect things to be the same. And if they're last, then the "team" cameraman would have lots of time to get lots of shots (and as far as we know, nobody made it to the pitstop in the morning--except the last team). John wanted a jacket, but Phil said No--"continuity." Was the 10-hour wait through the late evening? Through the night?

Just cause it is neat:

North Shore to
Auckland Airport
by bus
Connecting from the North Shore to Auckland Airport
has just become easier with the introduction of the
Northern Flyer Pass, one transferable ticket that will
connect the North Shore with Auckland Airport.
The Northern Flyer ticket is a massive breakthrough for
North Shore residents who can catch a Northern Express
bus from any busway station to Britomart, walk across
the road to the Downtown Ferry Terminal and then catch
the Airbus Express direct to the international or domestic
terminals at Auckland Airport.
An adult Northern Flyer ticket costs $18 one way or
$30 return. Concessions are available to passengers
with the relevant identifi cation.
Tickets are available at the ticket machines or kiosks at
the Northern Busway stations or on the buses. For more
information about the Northern Flyer ticket, timetables and
the other public transport services to Auckland Airport,
call MAXX on 09 366 6400 or visit www.maxx.co.nz

I'm no camera expert, but here's my best guess. I suspect they have a couple of separate cameras set up that take blank pictures, ie with no team in them, just to splice and add in later to the edited film. They will probably also take 'dummy shots' of Phil waiting at the mat. They can't necessarily do those shots in real time or there would be too many cameras getting in the way of each other when they are shooting the long shots of the contestants actually making the dash for the mat. If some shots were taken in the afternoon/evening, they couldn't be used for the next morning, as the lighting angles would be totally wrong. While a team's camera crew could do the shots, or even Phil's crew, they have just run a leg, and probably need a rest period too. Most of those blank shots could be taken after everyone, including Phil, has already left the Pitstop. And for continuity, it is probably best to have the same camera man make the new shots, cos he knows what shots he already has from the day before.
